Hasbro was founded in 1923 by two brothers, Henry and Helal Hassenfeld, in a small office in Providence, Rhode Island. Originally named Hassenfeld Brothers, the Company first sold textile remnants, but soon moved into manufacturing pencil boxes and school supplies.

Hasbro is now a worldwide leader in children's and family leisure time entertainment products and services, with brands like Playskool, Tonka, Milton Bradley, Wizards of the Coast, etc.
